Solstice's axe kick crushed down on what seemed to be little more than a clone, the force of the axe kick pile driving into the clone caused the smoke which exploded out from it to not poof out in the usual aura, but in a wide low hanging ring across the ground which spread out quickly and was dispersed. She cracked the ground on impact and with that stood slowly, looking to the other two fighting each other for a brief moment looking to her fuuma shuriken, Solstice sped in its direction which was easily more than a dozen meters past their fight, which she gave enough leeway to. Her intense speed she picked up allowed her to reach it unhindered, entering a combat roll in which she would extend her arm and grip the four pointed windmill blade before she vaulted from her arms back up to her feet.

The blade, like all fuuma shuriken was able to be split, normally for the use of manipulating them with thread or ninja wire. But few people thought to use the separating capability of the fuuma shuriken to create makeshift blades. Pliting two of the blades off the Fuuma shuriken solstice smiled like the devil behind her mask as she was enjoying this battle, another six needles flying toward her body at top speed, Solstice threw her weight backwards  and contorted her body so that her back was literally inches from the ground, yet not touching it. Her knees jutting forward as she flexed back up, planting her hand on the ground behind her, she kiced off the ground into a handstand allowing the momentum to over rotate her body and back onto her feet in a slight display of athletic potential.

Cocking her head to one side coyly she assumed a sprinter's stance. Her arm was still weak, but Solstice had determined after one more hit she would concede the battle, until then, it was time to simply dive head first into this conflict with EVERYTHING SHE HAD and see if she could clean up this training session with an amount of calculated brutality, perhaps the two of them would not be expecting. Taking off toward her opponents she would rip up some of the soft earth from the ground behind her, wielding the two sections of the fuuma shuriken blunt side first so that she would not deal any sustainable serious damage to her friends, while allowing herself the pleasure of not holding herself back.

Rocketing toward Yuudai's back she would not target that ninja, instead of entering him in heated combat, she would allow him to retake his weapon, she wanted to fight him in such a manner which would allow him to fight her on his terms. And not the other way around. Little more than a blur of colour she would approach him at top speed and duck past him, her slick stream strong enough to tug on his clothing and pull him toward her slightly as she rocketed past. Strafe it seemed was several meters away, a good dozen or so which would be quickly made up by the jounin as she gained more momentum. She'd seen his use of the clan's kekei genkai technique and was impressed on how he had used it, she had been thinking of techniques she would be able to learn to increase her mobility in combat, and that had simply given her an idea.

On reaching her target solstice would turn her weight to a side and plant her foot, summersaulting once before leaping for what seemed like to be over him like a gymnast, spinning all the while. It would only be then where he might realise with the speed of her spin that two blunt impacts here aimed for his chest. Lashing out by simply raising her arms at a key point as she cork screwed trough the air. The hits would be considered Bukijutsu strikes even through they would be blunt in nature as solstice aimed to land less than a meter behind him, and immediately spin, the first spin would be to hit Strafes legs, but she would raise up like a helicopter to strike him from legs to head. Before ending her attack at the apex of her jump and falling to land. One of her two blades braced in the ground as she would stabilize by falling to a knee, the other blade resting over her shoulder on her back. Should she connect, her combo was far from over. Solstice was not in the mood to let strafe recover from this attack, should she connect, there would not be hesitation, he would need to react within a second or two as solstice was about to follow up!

She anticipated that Strafe would be able to dodge or avoid her initial onslaught, and there was also the chance that she had come to the conclusion that this had to happen too late, and would not be able to have the follow up required due to the damage to her chest shoulder and arm. It was a chance, a gamble and she was willing to take it, after his offensive jutsu was once again used, and he did not have the use of his Kekkei Genkai defence, she would have a better than not opportunity to exploit this weakness in his potential rebuttal. The aim of Solstice's attacks were to strike him twice high on his chest, to either bait him into ducking or stagger him back into her follow up attack, which would hopefully hit enough locations on his body to take him out of the fight.

He was glad that he had managed to kick Strafe's arm before his fellow Aisu clansman could toss his sword away. While it was a spar, the same situation could easily be posed in a real fight; where he wouldn't have the benefit of doubt that he would not be gruesomely attacked by another. Landing safely upon his feet after the quick incoming sweep of his feet that he managed to dodge unscathed, Yuudai quickly scanned his surroundings, finding where each individual was. His left hand slightly twitched to go towards the hilt of his katana; a katana he did not have in his possession at the moment. Not bothering to sweep away the purple strands of hair obstructing his vision, Yuudai spotted his katana meters away from himself. Opting to quickly shake his head, clearing his field of view slightly, Yuudai knew he'd have to take Solstice in to account if he wanted to retrieve his weapon. There was also Strafe he needed to take in to account, due to the ninjutsu threat he posed from various ranges, and he was the only obstacle that was in between himself and his missing weapon. If he broke in to an all out sprint, it should be relatively easy to obtain the blade, but he supposed he would not have much time to prepare for a defensive maneuver if needed.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Yuudai was able to spot Solstice, though feeling a presence from above, his attention was quickly diverted. Six glimmering shards of ice were traveling towards him once again. The same jutsu that Yuudai had absorbed with the entirety of his right arm was once again being aimed at him, this time only the intended six would seem to reach him. Knowing he wouldn't have much time to debate about the decision best suited for avoiding the technique. Deciding the best method of defense would be to block the entirety of the Ice Darts produced by Strafe, Yuudai opted to a common defensive maneveur used by those specializing in Hyouton ninjutsu. Forming a quick handseal specific to the jutsu, a thin mirror made of ice formed in front of the Aisu swordsman. The Demonic Ice Crystal Mirrors jutsu used by those with the Aisu name was a standard defensive maneuver, one which Yuudai felt he needed to use at this moment. The ice mirror would absorb the hit, and once that was done Yuudai would plan out his next assault; mainly to retrieve his katana. With the mirror serving the purpose of blocking the incoming projectiles, Yuudai quickly dissipated the jutsu as it no longer would serve a purpose.

Noticing Strafe retreat via the use of the jutsu commonly known amongst all members of the Aisu clan; one which he just used a moment ago, the Demonic Ice Crystal Mirrors, was a unique use to said jutsu, though Yuudai preferred using it for various other purposes than a retreat. But, it would still be a note he'd take in case he needed to pull off such a stunt in the near future. A defensive technique being used in such a fashion; still classified by defensive in nature, would be something he would keep in mind. Though his attention was quickly returned to Solstice as she darted right by him. This would clearly give him the opportunity to regain control of his katana, as Solstice seemed determined to face Strafe head on at the moment. Not one to overlook an opportunity, Yuudai pushed off the ground with his left foot, gaining speed as fast as possible, in order to be in range of diving for his blade.

With the wind blasting in to his face as he darted forward, the obstruction of vision caused by his hair didn't phase Yuudai much at all. His direction was to be a decent gap away from his fellow Aisu clansmen for a brief period of time before reentering the spar. The adrenaline was pumping through his veins, and with that he'd rather just finish off the spar on a strong note. Within seconds he approached the location of his katana. His speed had not fallen in terms of the average amongst those of equivalent ranks. In fact, Yuudai relied mainly on his agile aspects in terms of training. He wasn't built to take hits, but instead weaken his enemy in smaller steps. Rolling for the last few meters, Yuudai was able to roll just within the grasp of his blade. Quickly grabbing it and storing it within its sheathe, while in a kneeling position, Yuudai quickly turned his head to look at the other two members of his clan.

Returning to his feet, Yuudai quickly spun around so he was facing both of his sparring partners. Debating on how long before he should interfere wasn't a question, as he had already planned how much longer until he fell back in to combat. Starting a mental countdown to find the moment to strike, Yuudai knew he would not have this benefit otherwise. 'Ten, nine, eight, seven....' Counting down the rest silently, Yuudai was bouncing on the soles of his feet, getting ready to blast forward, or possibly defend if need be. His left hand was on the hilt of his blade, ready to draw it in a fashion where the non-cutting edge would be the one to hit the target.

Chakra: 260/300:

Strafe smirked as his breathing became normal and alert as his head poured with drops of salty sweat. He looked to Solstice as she immediately dodged the Ice Darts and took off sprinting towards her fuma shuriken. Yuudai too a different route and blocked the darts with a very familiar jutsu that Strafe used only moments earlier. His facial expression quickly turned into a scowl as he realized his assualt was for nothing as it failed. He immediately thought in a very specific manner, noting that Solstice had reached her shuriken and literally took peices of it off to attack with. He knew that she would attack without remorse, as she wasn't one to hold back. Her direction then immediately changed as she sped towards Yuudai.

Strafe's eyes narrowed as she closed in on Yuudai, as she didn't show any signs of changing her movements. His curiousity was soon answered as she ran past their other opponent without hesitation and headed for Strafe. He grimaced as he knew this would be trouble for him. He didn't have many defensive options left and she was moving at a rapid pace. Behind her, Yuudai also took off at blazing speeds as he moved for his katana. This were slowly starting to unravel into disadvantages for the young medic ninja as he rapidly thought of his need to counter Solstice's charge. She neared him and planted hher foot, causing her to fly into the air. Immediately, Strafe knew he didn't have much time to respond. He threw the monkey handsign and created the ice prosion around him. He couldn't tell when her attack would land, but he knew that this was just the start of her assault.

The dull sides of both blades hit the dome of ice with a resounding crack, bouncing off of the dome with an obvious effect as the dome cracked in a few spots. Strafe sighed as he knew that the first attack had been blocked successfully. He didn't realize she had continued with a kick that shattered the dome, sending small shards of ice everywhere. Strafe's eyes shot open as he twisted his body at the last second, causing her foot to connect with his shoulder as he grunted. Luckily, the ice dome had weaken her kick enough to only dislocate the bones as he stumbled to the side a few steps. He grabbed his shoulder and turned to face her with a look of anger. As he turned, he saw that Yuudai had retrieved his katana and was about to enter the battle again.

One thing was for certain, Strafe had to find a way to get some space between himself and his opponents. He didn't have any options left and his chakra was slowly depleting. If he used too much more, he wouldn't have enough to heal them afterwards. There was only one thing left to do, and he had to do it quickly. He moved his good hand in front of him, shooting the same ice disk he had used earlier towards Solstice. It was a very short distance, which made it hard to dodge. Add that to the near transparent properties of the jutsu, and it would be a hard attack to dodge completely. Strafe immediately jumped back, flinching in pain as he tried to get some distance between him and his opponents. If he took one more hit, he was done. There was no way that he could heal all of them if they got much more injured.

Fuuton Training C-S: 4652/9000

Chakra: 165/250:

Solsktice flipped the edge of her blade araound and came down on strafe with the sharp end of the blade for a finishing blow, he made monkey handsign as she stepped in, she was currently paying no heed to Yuudai and his positioning, trusting her won judgement that he would have used this opportunity to retrieve his weapon, which still gave her a clearing of about five seconds. Moving to intercept Strafe's hand signs, she did not expect his ice disk jutsu to be ready. Solstice's B rank weapon coming down for him split through the spinning disk with its blade, the two pieces due to the spinning force were ripped apart and riccosheted in either direction in a V to either side. Like a guillotine solstice bought the blade down for Strafe's neck, he hadn't moved, and this was an endgame for him.

But she stopped, looking at her shoulder one of the two shards had penetrated her other arm, another amount of blood fell down from her, in defeat, solstice dropped her two fuuma blades at Strafe's feet, he would more than likely need a weapon to fend off Strafe's assault, and though it was only two quarters of a fuuma shuriken, it would be better than facing off against him with nothing but his bare hands, should he have killed his opponent it would be only right that he would be able to pillage their weapon from their body to combat the next opponent with. The blade was sharp, and it would do strafe well to be aable to defend against Yuudai's katana. He would still have a couple of disadvantages, but that was the downside of using a smaller blade.

Solstice after dropping her weapons raised both of her arms to the best of her ability and stepped away from strafe, Looking to Yuudai and nodding, she was done for now and decided to move away from the action and lick her wounds, moving a couple of dozen meters from the conflict Solstice sat down and crossed her legs, taking the time to bandage her arm up with a small medical kit which had been bought in by someone thoughtful enough whom had seen them training. Solstice asked them to run along and find another medical ninja from the hospital and bring them here, just in case their resident medical ninja was too badly damaged to heal the two of them. their wounds were becoming accumulate and more and more serious with every minute that passed.

Looking down at her own wounds she managed to begin padding them and putting pressure around it with a bandage, repeating the process for the wounds on her lower arm and her upper shoulder, wrapping them tightly enough so not to hurt herself too badly, but tight enough to stem the bleeding and no longer to be threatened by bleeding out. Resting both of her hands on her knees she closed her eyes and began her breathing practises and started to cool her body down and slow her heart, as well as the adrenaline which was pumping through her body. They all began to ebb, and the aching from the wounds began to set in, it was hard, but she managed to drown it out and slip into an amount of soft meditation, hoping that the practise fight would continue until there was a winner.

Solstice was not counting strafe out for a moment, he had taken less actual wounds than from the two of them, but where her kick had actually managed to connect with his shoulder she felt something move, if it was dislocated, he would be in a large sum of trouble, the strength of an arm once it had been popped out of its socket did more than just half, it basically made it impossible to grip anything with any amount of strength... but that assumed you were normal, he was still a ninja, medical or no, which meant to a level he had advanced training both physically and mentally, enough to make him able to push past a little bit of pain and operate on will alone.

Were they still in the Kiri of yester year this battle between the three of them would have been to the death, and as much as Solstice didn't like the thought, she had the opportunity to break Yuudai's sword and defeat him while doing it... but she hadn't the heart to break the equipment of a fellow ninja in training, though the shuriken was an unfortunate accident. Having collided with her it was thoroughly destroyed. Crumbled from not having the makeup to resist having chakra flown through the item with that level of make. Without Yuudai's sword, this could have gone very differently, but, the point of this fight was to replicate a full duel, not to physically kill each other, reflecting on what she should have done, Solstice took this time to pick apart pieces of her strategy, and decide where she could have improved.

She needed to go all in much earlier in the fight, but she had held back allowing herself to recieve too much damage for the follow through, that was her flaw here, she should have begun with that level of intensity and then not let it drop for the rest of the fight. It had caused her the win, and so, there was not much that she could have done otherwise after she lost most of her strength in one arm and now a part of the other.

WC: 9020

It was rather simple to decipher that today's training session would soon come to a close. While it had only felt as mere minutes had passed by during the duration of today's sparring session, the time that actually had past seemed like far too much for Yuudai. Considering the minor injuries that Yuudai had sustained on his right arm, he was still fit to go for at least a few more minutes before he would call the spar over for himself. It was not so much that he was tired, but rather the purpose of today's session certainly had already been met, just a bit more of a push and he would certainly have achieved what he set out to originally accomplish, and so much more. Ignoring the lingering pain in the arm he was not wielding his katana with, Yuudai was sure that this charge would be the last few moments concluding today’s session.

Watching the exchange between Solstice and Strafe, the conclusion he came to was being fulfilled. As Solstice dropped two of the fuuma blades at Strafe’s feet, he knew the end of today’s session was near, only this last bout would be the only thing to remain. Rotating the hilt of his katana in his hands, so that it was held like normal, Yuudai waited a few moments; moments that he allowed for Strafe to pick up the fuuma blades at his feet and reposition himself for their next brief moment of battle. While he gave the time to Strafe, thoughts began to rush in to Yuudai's head, reanalyzing everything that happened so far, but the main point that stood out was his use of kenjutsu. Solstice had proven to him, or rather showed, that he'd definitely need a better, stronger, durable sword in the future as this one just would not due in a head on battle. Chakra infused with a normal blade; one that wasn't built to withhold chakra, was a combo that put him in a tough situation, since his katana could only take so much. There was also the issue of if he were to lose grasp on his weapon, then he'd only have the option of using ninjutsu. A possible solution, one that wasn't much of a long shot, was to obtain another weapon, one that could be stronger than his current with an additional weapon added to that. Two arms certainly would function better than one.

Wincing a bit at the stinging in his right arm, a result of taking the brunt of all twelve Ice Darts that Strafe had conjured, Yuudai lifted his katana to just above his hip. Staring off in Strafe's direction as Solstice walked off to the sidelines, Yuudai gave a small nod in Strafe's direction, implying that this would be the last few moments in their spar. Labored breaths were being exhaled while Yuudai took deep breaths to replenish the oxygen that circulated within, a small smile appeared instead of the naturally void expression that lingered on the weapon user.

Giving the younger Aisu clansman more than enough time to prepare, Yuudai broke out in to a run, starting off slower than he normally would then breaking out in to almost a full on sprint, yet still lingering more than he would in a real bout. All Yuudai was set out to do was deliver a multitude of slashes, mainly to improve his own speed, while allowing Strafe to improve in whichever field he chose, as well as providing experience against a weapon user. Though Yuudai was far from being the best, there weren't many within Kiri who shared the same dedication as he did, which in time would certainly pay off, though who knew how long. Once his katana would be in striking range of Strafe, Yuudai; holding his katana in his left hand, would slash at Strafe in a horizontal fashion, with the use of an angle for the use of momentum, three times before he would relent. To Yuudai, it didn't matter how Strafe countered, he was prepared to take the entire blow if it meant the younger boy would improve vastly in a certain aspect of his own.

---

Strafe stood in place breathing heavily as he watched Solstice slice the Ice disk in half, causing one half of it to lodge in her arm. He glanced over to Yuudai who was stationary at the moment before turning his attention back over to the head of the clan. She didn't seem to be on the attack anymore, and just shrugged her shoulders before walking away. So she was done. That was an accomplishment that Strafe would ponder on after Yuudai and him were finished here. She left the Fuma Shuriken parts for him to use as a gift, to which he nodded in thanks before reaching down and grabbing both of them. He turned to the left to face Yuudai, knowing that with one opponent, things would be much harder for him.

He was already injured considerably and decided that he would quit with the next attack that landed. He thought to himself about strategy, not that he could think of much. Half of his chakra had been used already and he didn't have full use of an arm. He knew that he would be in trouble here, being forced to counter with pure hand to hand skill, which he lacked to be honest. He prepared himself by going into a defensive stance, hoping that it would be enough to not be seriously injured. His eyes met Yuudai's with respect as he waited for the impressive Jounin to make his move. He didn't have to wait long though.

Within a few minutes of Solstice leaving the spar, Yuudai was ready and charged forward with intent. Usually, charging head first wasn't the smartest plan. However, he was not in the position to do much in terms of strategy, so he could understand the direct approach. He grimaced as he tightened the grip on his weapons, causing a sharp pain to go up his arm. Yuudai was starting to close the gap, making Strafe tense up a bit. This was the first time he will have fought someone with a blade while using a weapon himself. He didn't know to expect, but he was just ready for this spar to be over.

Within a few seconds, Yuudai was in front of him and swung his sword horizontally, causing Strafe to raise his good arm to block it with the shuriken part. Luckily, the injury was on the opposite should from the source of the swing, making it easier to block without being in danger. That was a short lived luxery though, as he swung horizontally from the other side, causing Strafe to try and block it with his hurt arm. He raised it up just enough to hear the metal clash before dropping it with a grunt. The last swing came horizontally once again and Strafe moved his good arm to block it before dropping it as well. He couldn't do this. There was no way he could do this against a swordsman of his caliber.

He bowed before speaking "I'm done. Congrats." He said before walking over to where Solstice was to start healing people.

Fuuton Training C-A: 5175/5000 (Complete)

((Dropping the S-Rank training. I'll do that later))

Solstice watched as they began their final clash, but she had know idea as Strafe picked up her kunai that he had been that banged up by her assault, his other arm was weakened and she knew he would not be able to block with it by sheer strength alone, and Yuudai exploited that weakness in a heartbeat as he reached close range combat, it only took a second for one of the fuuma shuriken pieces to be flung out of Strafe's hands, and then soon after so was the other, Solstice remembered a saying about the swordsman who used one blade in two hands, as opposed to the man who used two blades in each hands. That though there was only one sword, with two hands upon it, it was twice as strong, and thus is able to easily overpower each of the weaker blades one, after the other.

And that was exactly which had happened in front of her, but it was no fault of Strafe's he was resourceful and proved that although fighting was not his strongest point he could still hold his own in a skirmish should he need to. While Yuudai proved that as a swordsman he probably had some still yet to learn, but he was definately able to weather a beating fom the two of them, and solstice admired his constitution in that respect, to the point that she was very proud of him. As strafe walked from the battlefield Solstice's hands met each other in applause though it took some convincing of her arms to fight the pain and manage to perform the acts. As strafe walked over she watched as he began the healing process of everyone, and smiled.

That was an excellent show, and i think we al know to a point on what we need to work on, I need to begin my aggression a lot earlier in a fight if i intend to compete in it, going in strong toward the end of a fight which didn't seem to pay off as well as i would have hoped. Strafe, from my point of observing i didn't think you had enough of an offensive or even defensive skillset to be able to defend and attempt to beat the two of us, from what you have and what you know, it's good, don't get me wrong, but we were all using lower rank skills to avoid hurting each other too gravely. She said leaving Yuudai out of the equation until he came over and joined with the other two of them.

As solstice's wounds began to heal over she began to feel a lot better, she had lost some blood and was beginning to worry that she may have started to loose a little too much for her own good, though she had not removed the ice which was stabbed into her, and they had continued to plug the wounds, they had begun to melt and thus the once slowed down bleeding with the water as the clots falling out of their positions had begun to flow freely with blood now. Her skin looking a little more translucent than it normally should, the blue of her veins beginning to stick out, which was probably a good thing on her behalf, as it meant those who were working on her were better able to see what they were doing.

Though as Yuudai joined them Solstice extended a clap in his direction as well, and congratulated him on his win, still not leaving her sitting down position. Having had quite a notable amount of fun spending the last few minutes ripping her own allies apart in a training match. Yuudai, nice swordsmanship on the win there, though, i think you need to keep a little more alert and begin to work on not taking so many hits where you are able to. Those needles at the start, if i had have known you were going to take them all to the arms I probably would have not hurled them straight for your chest. She said with a laugh, trying not to be mean about it, but still finding it funny that for the first part of the match Yuudai had essentially tanked the two of them as they both tried to eliminate what they thought was a superior threat.

And they were right.

Though I didn't see you use many Jutsu at all in the skirmish at all Yuudai, though i suppose you did say that you were trying to focus mainly on your swordsmanship, which i can appreciate, i think all in all this was more or less a beneficial excercise, one that I would really enjoy doing again some time with either or both of you. Solstice looked over to the side as one of the village medical ninja was running through the forest to find their group, the man looked a little worried when he saw the scene near the well, three jounin close around each other and blood splattered across some of the landscape, and patches of ice equally scattered.

Solstice welcomed the other Medical ninja and looked to each of them for any of their words summing up what had just happened, and whether or not they thought she had done anything less, or simply wanted to talk about their experience that had, had in the midst of the fight, congratulate any particular techniques or advances, or anyone's skills in particular. Solstice had a few in mind though as the other medical ninja began to heal their other healer so he could do his own healing just that little bit better, but wanted to leave them until after the other two of them had spoken, not wanted to hog the all the talking air in the area. Relaxing against a tree and feeling the warmth of the healing chakra beginning to repair her in whatever way Strafe used it.

WC = 10,033

After his shortened assault on Strafe, Yuudai resheathed his katana, and stood still for a few moments, as Strafe went to go and heal Solstice. He made mistakes, way too many for him to tolerate as acceptance, thus deeming himself to have failed to reach his expectations for this session. He knew where he went wrong, he lacked versatility. While he was designed to be able to combat at all ranges, he lacked the proper techniques to do as such. Tilting his head downward as he began to slowly trek back to Solstice and Strafe, he did not need criticism for how he had been during today's session, but it was something that could be remedies very easily. He heard Solstice speaking of Strafe and his abilities that he had displayed, and it would only be a matter of moments; once he reached the two, for Solstice to comment on his own skills.

Accepting Solstice's words, Yuudai sat down on the grass as a medical ninja began to heal him. He took a moment before he spoke, "I've been.... slacking if you will, in some aspects of my training. If anything, I learned from today's spar that there are various limitations I placed on myself, and I'm prepared to overcome them as soon as possible. I'm more conservative when using my chakra, though I think I can work out of my comfort zone. I'll promise you this, the next time we spar, it'll be a different experience, that is, if you two don't mind another one, say down the road in a few years time? Though we may have to hold back a bit." Not known for his humor or socialization, Yuudai let out a small chuckle at the end of his comments, before stopping completely. He thought it'd only be fair to judge the clan head's abilities as well.

"As for you, Solstice-sama, I do enjoy watching your combative style, though, personally, I feel as if you should invest in either something to suit you in long to mid-range combat, or something that aids you in closing gaps. However, your gauntlet really does help you at longer ranges as well as close." He wasn't entirely too sure on how to comment, though he supposed it was best to be as honest as possible. Today was entirely dedicated to bettering oneself, something that they each would discover through the spar and as well as the perspective of others.

---

"I agree with you, Solstice. If I had brought Momaru with me, things might have gone different, but hindsight is perfect." He said smiling as he walked over to her and started to look her over for damage. He immediately removed the temporary bandages that were on her arm and put his hands over the spot that was spilling crimson liquid. A green glow covered the area, showing the use of the Zenchi Te no Jutsu. Within a few minutes, that injury was healed completely. He moved down the arm healing individual spots with speed and precision. He then moved to the other arm and started doing the same. Luckily, they weren't using many high level attacks, so the healing process would be quick. He looked to make sure no other injuries were present on her before he moved his shoulder back in to place with his strong arm. As a medical ninja, he had knowledge of how to do it without hurting himself.

Yuudai soon followed and Strafe walked over to him with a smile. He put out his hands, creating a medium sized orb of water and started healing the man. It was a stronger jutsu, but it was also quicker and he actually had some chakra left. He finished healing the quick injuries within a few seconds before turning to the medical ninja. "Make sure I haven't missed anything." He said strongly but calmly as he looked himself over to make sure there were no more injuries.

Chakra: 140/250:

Solstice listened to them and nodded, knowing loosely what the two of them were each talking about, as she witnessed something that she did not get to see every day, taking off her coat and looking down her arm as she was basically naked save for the bondage that was wrapped around her breasts giving her the support in that area which allowed her to move in combat with absolute efficiency without her womanly features getting in the way. She watched the medical ninja perform the miracle of healing on her arms and shoulder as she watched the many hundreds and perhaps thousands of muscle fibres within each of the puncture holes begin to weave together from the base of the wound and working their way up.

The fibres manages to weave back to the stare they were originally in, the chakra creating the new threads and knitting them together intricately as one by one the holes from the needles began to close. the flesh and the layers of skin regenerating as the chakra created the lost cells from nothing, the sheets sloting over each other as the deeper gaps began to close until the wounds were nothing but red spots of light raw newly formed skin which reflected the light. Even some of her scars on her torso had managed to fade a little due to the presence of the healing energy which irradiated over her body. Smiling up at strafe she whispered a thank you in passing for the healing of her wounds.

The other medical ninja, after Strafe moved on to look at Yuudai, took a gander at some of solstices older wounds and began on working on healing the deep trenches of scar tissue over solstice's body, and though he was unable to remove the marks and discolouration of the skin, he was able to heal the scar tissue so that it would not be tighter and less flexible than her usual skin. To this Solstice gave the other medical ninja a pat on the shoulder and a light hug, thanking him for coming out and helping with the clean up of their little training match. He didn't have to, and he had taken time out of his day to do so.

Solstice once she was fit and ready looked back at her two companions. It seemed for al of them they had a considerable what to go before they were going to reach a level which they would consider a level of greatness, but that was the hard march, and through a long road and difficult path they would manage to get there in the end. But only if they worked together and helped each other, Solstice was no genius when it came to power, though she had a unique skill set for an Aisu clan member, and was still to date the only living member which was unable to use ninjutsu completely. It was a considerable downside on occasion, though her gloves meant in a round about way she was able to use the ninjutsu of others to make up for the weakness.

Bowing toward the other two only lightly, they had already reviewed the match, though solstice was surprised to hear the feedback that she did, though it was true, and the need for long range jutsu was something which was currently in the making, she did not expect it to be one of the things which was bought up in reference to the combat here. She had always thought she was on top of them when she wanted to be, and of the three of them she was the one to take the path of the head on assault a little more than the other two. But perhaps she did need to be able attack more suddenly to be able to be a little more useful in combat.

"Yeah, i have to admit, i didn't catch you throwing that kunai to a side Strafe or else i would not have attempted to use that so early in the battle, i really thought that i was going to connect with that punch and you hit me with a descent amount of stuff because of it. which, at the time i was not exactly proud of, but it was a good hit." She rubbed where strafe had hit her with the ice disk, and looked back to Yuudai, he seemed a little disappointed at his performance, and so she put a hand on his shoulder, with a reassuring smile. "Though, i agree with what you've said Yuudai, we do need to do this again sometime down the track, once we've mastered some more complicated abilities and managed to temper ourselves into what we want each of ourselves to be."

She watches as Yuudaiis wounds were healed similarly, one of his arms was just a mess of holes, those ice darts having all hit it, did not make it look pretty, it was a miracle that Yuudai had actually managed to come out on top and even use that arm with any amount of physical strength after the skin and the muscle had been penetrated like that so many times. It was a testament to how great a ninja he was going to be one day. Solstice felt proud that these are what the ranks of her jounin were capable of, not simply the act of combat, but the ability to reflect intelligently on where they had gone wrong in the fight and what they could do to improve as well as help each other improve, it was a brilliant sight for someone at the head of a clan house.

There were very few things he concerned himself with, but his self-worth; how he viewed himself as a shinobi, always took priority. Not matter the concern, there was always room to improve. Had the spar gone on longer, Yuudai knew he would have easily lost. He was lacking vital components to make himself successful. With the twinging pain beginning to fade, from the healing of the medical shinobi, Strafe, he gave the younger boy a small smile, to show his appreciation for his skills. Rolling up his right sleeve, which had various holes in it due to taking the Ice Darts, Yuudai inspected the freshly healed skin. He'd definitely have to get his sleeve tailored, or get some new garbs. Muttering a quiet "Thank you," after Solstice offered him a smile, with a clear message.

Yuudai made a motion to get back on to his feet. Though a bit slower than normal, he remained steady on his feet. It had been a while since he did an excercise as intense as today's, something he knew he'd have to do a few more times to better himself. Freeing his hair of confines of the usual ponytail, Yuudai ran his left hand through his purple tresses. Seeing as how they'd be done here for the day, he turned to face Strafe and Solstice. "It was a good seeing you two again. Hopefully, I'll be able to see the two of you more often. But for now, I think I should head back home and freshen up." With a slight bow to say goodbye, Yuudai pivoted and began to walk back towards the village, knowing that the other two Aisu clansmen would soon follow.

"Thank you!" Strafe's response to Solstice's praise was like a kid at the candy store. he was ecstatic that Solstice had been impressed with him, even if it was just a spar. Strafe simply nodded to Yuudai in response. "I hope to do this again in the future." He added with a smile as Yuudai walked away. He was going to be a powerful ally in the future. Strafe then turned back to Solstice with a smile. "Feel free to call me up if you ever want to train! I have to go as well!" He said waving before turning ang heading back to his house.
